Being on that - wants and needs - I think I am going to implement NOT BUYING IT next year for a bit. I did it for one month this past year, and let me tell you it was hard, but I think it's something I want to try again - at least for one more month. January?? (The only problem with January, is, we're hosting Sean's 1st birthday party in January), so we'll see. Maybe February?
Though what I saw that I really want? These. They are these tubes, that hold your needles for your in progress sock projects. I've never seen them here in Canada, and would love some for my shorter needles. (I don't really knit socks with larger than 5 or 6 inch DPNS). (8 inch DPNS drive me nuts for socks!)
Another item on my WANT list is Fergie the Frog. I'd love a Fergie the Frog. It's made by clover, and not something I've seen in Canada either.
My son eats books. Actually he likes any cardboard or paper. I don't get it. Boxes, books, paper. He eats it. Is this normal? I know babies put things in their mouth all the time - but to eat paper?? I try as much to not let him do it - but sometimes, I just don't see him, especially when it comes to his books!
Tonight we dropped Sean off at my parents house and went to the Habs game. We unfortunately got creamed MAJORLY by North Carolina, 5-1. However, I got some knitting done on my nephew's Drive-Thru sweater. There is some progress, though, I'm no where near 10 inches for the body. I gotta keep going at it!

June's favorite food is absolutely paper.
I've been looking for those DPN holders that you use on WIP's too, can't find them here either. Fergie the frog is cute!! My girls liked to eat books too, teething maybe??
I got my eye on these:

I tried to not laugh when I read that Sean eats books, but it's kinda cute! Sucks about the Habs, they're KILLING me! Good luck with the sweater, you can do it! you can do it! *doing the you-can-do-it dance*
My second born son ate paper all the time. Not really books but napkins and computer paper. Anything he could get ahold of while I was chasing the other boy. He grew out of it though as I'm sure your son will too.
I have those needle tubes that you were looking for, the ones from Woolworks. I bought 2 smaller ones and 1 longer one (or 1 of each, I forget) with Maaike last summer. If you ever want to take a look at them in person, let me know.
p.s. I like your new profile pic but you have to update your profile with the baby-on-the-way!
i was thinking teething, but it is possible that he is anemic. there is a symptom of anemia called pica which means you crave non nutritious substances like starch, ice, or maybe even paper. just a thought!
i have been facinated by those dpn holders from woolworks too, but i haven't ordered any yet. i can't justify it since i don't do a lot of sock knitting! oh well! i think it is very clever though!
love the new profile pic!
Ah yes, the lovely eat the books phase! I thought my daughter would never read books, only eat them... it was relatively short-lived thankfully. Now she "reads" all the time (or wants stories read to her).
Go 'Canes!! >;)
Hee, hee. I grew up in Raleigh and my parents are huge Carolina fans.
Gabe has been know to vomit up chunks of paper quite often, so I think it is pretty common.
It is gross, though, and freaks me out because what if he chokes!
I haven't been to a hockey game in aaaaages! I think it'd be a great date, if the tickets weren't so damn expensive! :)
Awesome! My boyfriend gets mad when I bring my knitting to games. LOL!!
My son ate paper all the time. Don't know why but he stopped when he was around 15-18 months. No ill effects so don't worry much about it.
you know, my niece was totally into eating paper a few months back. it was funny. she no longer eats the stuff, but she still loves playing with it and crumpling it.
